Sessions are relational, grounded, and shame aware. Therapy is not about fixing you; it is about creating enough safety for your nervous system to settle, so you can begin to process experiences at your own pace.

Roger's Counselling Room
Trauma informed therapy supports you to:
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step. You are welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation to see whether working together feels right for you.
Couples Therapy
Alongside individual counselling, I also work with couples, offering a calm, neutral space to work through communication difficulties, trust and disconnection, with honour for both partners' experience. My aim isn't to take sides, but to help you understand each other more clearly and work out, together, what you both need going forward.

EMDR therapy in Burbage is available with Roger. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that supports the processing of traumatic or distressing experiences. It can be particularly helpful where talking alone does not feel sufficient. Suitability for EMDR is always explored carefully to ensure the approach feels safe, appropriate, and aligned with your needs.
Alongside in-person sessions, Roger also offers 1-1, couples and EMDR therapy online therapy across the UK and internationally. Online therapy provides flexibility while maintaining the same professional, relational and ethical standards as face-to-face work.
People come to counselling for many reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. You do not need to have a clear understanding of what is βwrongβ to begin therapy. An initial conversation can help explore whether counselling feels like the right support for you at this time.
No. You do not need to decide on a particular type of therapy before getting in touch. Therapy at Place to Talk Therapies is trauma-informed and relational, meaning the work is shaped around you rather than a fixed method. Together, we can explore what feels most supportive for your needs, pace, and circumstances.
The first session is an opportunity to begin getting to know each other and to explore what has brought you to counselling. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. There is no expectation to talk about anything before you are ready. The focus is on creating safety, understanding your experiences, and considering how therapy might support you moving forward.
